There is a folder apparently important for Creative Suite
5 licensing: C:\program files (x86)\common files\adobe\adobe pcd
Unfortunately the default permissions after installing (either standard install or install from Adobe Enterprise Deployment tools) are:
Everyone: Read
Administrators: Full Control
This presents a problem for using the software if your users are not local administrators.
If you change the folder permissions to grant access to other users, than launch InDesign and/or Photoshop, the Adobe PCD permissions revert to their original settings. I have verified that my permissions save fine by closing and reopening the folder permissions. It's only after a CS5 program is launched that the permissions revert.
How can I get the permissions to stay? Until then I have to make people local admins, which is not good if they find out. They will install all kinds of crapware and crappy legit software and break their computers further.
Thanks,
